Answer:

0.8 yards of rope

Explanation:

We know

Daniel had 5.75 yards of rope.

He used 7/10 yards, 2 yards, and 9/4 yards.

How much rope did Daniel have left?

7/10 = 0.7

9/4 = 2.25

First, we find the total amount of rope Daniel used:

0.7 + 2 + 2.25 = 4.95 yards of rope

Now, we subtract:

5.75 - 4.95 = 0.8 yards of rope

So, Daniel has 0.8 yards of rope left.
